Serves- 3

Ingredients:

oil- 1 1/2 tbsp

seviya- 1 1/2 cup

cumin seeds/jeera - 1/2 tsp

green chilies (finely chopped)- 4

ginger (finely chopped) - 3/4 inch

carrots- finely chopped- 1/2 cup

capsicum- 1/2 cup

green peas (parboiled)- 1/2 cup

cashews- 10-12 

( these are vegies which I like the most. You can easily substitute these with the ones available/ you like.)

garam masala powder- 1 tsp

biryani masala - 1 1/2 tsp

sugar- 1 1/2 tsp

lemon juice - 1 tsp

coriander- for garnishing

chat masala- for garnishing

red chili powder- for garnishing

Procedure:

Heat some oil in a pan. Add the seviya ( if not already roasted). Roast these seviya till these get pinkish gold.

Remove the seviya and let these cool. Till then, in a pan, heat oil and add a 1/2 tsp of jeera/cumin seeds.As the seeds crackle, add the green chili and ginger. Let these cook for a while, add all the vegetables. Add fried cashews( if you really want these many calories ;) )

Add the roasted seviya to it once the vegies get half cooked.

Mix well. Add green peas.

Add water such that all the seviya get submerged into it.

 

Now add garam masala powder and our secret ( ;) ) biryani masala to it. Stir well. Close the pan by a lid. And let it cook for 8 minutes on high flame.

Check after 5th minute, if the sev is already cooked well ( press one of the seviya. If it gets pressed effortlessly, seviya is cooked well), turn off the flame.
Now add sugar and lemon juice to it.You can completely skip this if you don't want that gujju touch in your delicacy.

Take the seviya into serving dish,and garnish the dish with coriander, red chili powder and chat masala powder.

Your tasty and healthy masala seviya is ready to serve..
